This is both offensive AND defensive!
I just figured: why not cut to the chase?

The cartoon with the winning caption will appear on this blog Saturday and in the following print edition of Roll Call. The contest winner will receive a signed color print of his or her Capitol Quip cartoon from the cartoonist, R.J. Matson.
